You got bankrupt, went to jail and persecuted for your beliefs. Even President Obama campaigned and won on your slogan: 'A change we can believe in.' You fought hard, you fought well, so hold your head up high, JBJ. You will always remain our hero. Pray the Good Lord grant you Eternal Rest.

Let us support the good and courageous men who are laying their lives on the line to speak up for us, men like Dr Chee Soon Juan. We must not allow fear and apathy stop us from doing what is right.

May your legacy live on. One day the sons, and daughters of Singapore will remember you among the founding father's of Singapore, not in the league of nation-builders such as MM Lee, nor in the league of expert crisis managers such as SM Goh and PM Lee Hsien Loong, but in a league of his very own, forging democracy for the common men and women who make up every one else in the non elite stratas of Singaporean society. RIP, JBJ.

May your legacy live on.

among the founding father’s of Singapore,
not in the league of nation-builders such as MM Lee,
nor in the league of expert crisis managers such as SM Goh and PM Lee Hsien Loong,
but in a league of his very own, forging democracy for the common men and women who make up every one else in the non elite stratas of Singaporean society.

Obviously, the writer didn't account for the fact that JBJ was re-elected to the same seat in 1984.
